    The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．

    A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami, sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday．
    The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side． In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow．
    The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel． Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard．
    “It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said．
    The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．
    Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1．5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9．0 earthquake struck Japan．
    As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．
    Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship． A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it．
    Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size．
    State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected．
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship?
    A．It had no lights or communications system.
    B．It might be washed up onto the shore．
    C．It was a danger to other passing ships．
    D．The oil it carried could pollute the sea．
    小题2:The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________．
    A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns
    B．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship
    C．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation
    D．a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship
    小题3:Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
    A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US
    B．Tsunami garbage heading to US
    C．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
    D．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific

    Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮).     
    Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years, ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.
    Beijing’s skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.  
    The problem is making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.
    The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4 million to set up. And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.
    小题1:What does this text mainly talk about?
    A．Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.
    B．Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time.
    C．Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.
    D．A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.
    小题2:Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?
    A．To visit more ski areas.
    B．To ski on natural snow.
    C．For a large collection of ski suits.
    D．For better services and equipment.
    小题3:The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer to         
    A．transport to ski resorts
    B．production of family cars
    C．business of providing spare time enjoyments
    D．part-time work for people living in the suburbs
    小题4:What is the main problem in running a ski resort?
    A．Difficulty in hiring land．
    B．Lack of business experience．
    C．Price wars with other ski resorts
    D．Shortage of water and electricity.

    Taiwanese fishing boats that sailed to the Diaoyu Islands to protest Japan's "purchase" of part of the islands completed their voyage Tuesday morning and have set sail for home.
    Local media reported that the boats finished their protest at 9:15 a.m. and are expected to return to a port in northeast Taiwan's Yilan county at noon Wednesday.
    Although the boats originally numbered 75，they were joined at sea by other boats from different parts of Taiwan, raising the total number to about 100 vessels. Organizers said the voyage was made to protect Taiwanese fishing rights in nearby waters and to protest Japan's "purchase" of part of the Diaoyu Islands.
    The Japanese government announced a plan to "purchase" part of the islands earlier this month despite repeated protests from the Chinese government. The action aroused demonstrations across China as well as consumers' boycott of Japanese products in recent weeks. Local authorities in Taiwan have also protested the move.
    "Japan's purchase and nationalization of China's Diaoyu Islands are putting China-Japan economic and trade ties at risk due to man-made factors." An official spokesman from Beijing warned .
    China-Japan economic and trade relations was back on track in 1952 when the two countries signed their first non-governmental trade agreement. Currently, China has been Japan's largest trade partner since 2007 while Japan is China’s fourth largest trade partner, after the EU, U.S. and the ASEAN. Meanwhile, China is the biggest destination for Japanese exports and biggest source of imports. In the first half of 2012, Japan's exports to China totaled 73.54 billion U.S. dollars, down 6.2 percent from the same period last year, while its import from China was 91.29 billion U.S. dollars, up 7 percent from the same period last year.
    Now, China-Japan economic and trade relations are at a crossroads. Negotiation could be the way out of the rift.
    小题1:Why are China-Japan economic and trade relations at a crossroads?
    A．Because Taiwan fishing boats sailed to the island to protest Japan.
    B．Because Taiwanese are deprived of their fishing right.
    C．Because Japan is not China's largest trade partner.
    D．Because Japan announced to purchase China's Diaoyu Islands.
    小题2:We can infer from the passage that _____.
    A．About 100 boats joined the original team later.
    B．Negotiation will bring both countries out of the conflict.
    C．Japan's “purchase”has cast a shadow on China-Japan export and import.
    D．Japan's exports to China totaled 78 billion U.S. dollars in 2011.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “rift” in the last paragraph mean?
    A．gapB．conflictC．crashD．quarrel
    小题4:What is the main idea of this passage?
    A．Japan declared to purchase China's Diaoyu Islands.
    B．Japan's purchase of Diaoyu Islands aroused nationwide protest.
    C．The Diaoyu Islands belong to China!
    D．China plays an important part in Japan's economy development.

    Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.
    Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
    An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
    In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
    Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.
    According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
    An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
    Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
    At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
    "One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
    "I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes(模式化形象) and strengthened stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural resistance."
    The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
    Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.
    小题1:What can we learn from some recent studies?
    A．Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.
    B．Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
    C．Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.
    D．Interracial lodging does more harm than good.
    小题2:What does the Indiana University study show?
    A．Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.
    B．Roommates of different races just don't get along.
    C．Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.
    D．Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.
    小题3:What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?
    A．The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
    B．Students of different races are required to share a room.
    C．Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.
    D．Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.
    小题4:What can be inferred from Grace Kao’s saying about interracial lodging?
    A．Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.
    B．Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.
    C．Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.
    D．It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.

    For 40 years, the people of London have been happy to discover in their parks a bird that seems to have made its way from the Himalayas to the capital of England. With its shocking green body, red mouth, long tail and noisy screech(尖叫), the rose-ringed parakeet (长尾小鹦鹉) brought a vivid colour to parks in and around London.
    However, the parakeets are no longer welcome. The government has suddenly woken up to the fact that there are many more parakeets in and around London making life harder for the local bird population. Government experts put the number of parakeets at around 30,000. They fear that if the number of parakeets keeps rising, these birds will push out local birds like wood-peckers, starlings and nuthatches from trees to build their own nests.
    Not only that. According to an online report by The Independent, the parakeets will then also get control of most of the food available in the parks — seeds, berries, fruit and nuts. The local bird population will then have a hard time staying alive. An organization called the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has asked the government to investigate (调查) what kind of a threat the parakeet brings to local birds. If the government decides that these birds are indeed a threat to local birds, steps will be taken to control the number of parakeets.
    The most surprising thing about the case of the rose-ringed parakeet is that no one quite knows how the parakeets came from India and started breeding (繁殖) in areas around London.
    小题1:Parakeets are no longer welcome mainly because ______.
    A．the local birds are being driven out
    B．the government doesn’t like the birds
    C．they are a threat to people’s health
    D．people have a great fear of this kind of birds
    小题2:According to an online report by The Independent, ______.
    A．the parakeets’ future threat is impossible
    B．the number of the parakeets is around 3,000
    C．the parakeets should fly back to the Himalayas
    D．the local birds won’t have enough food
    小题3:People are not certain ______.
    A．where the parakeets live
    B．how the parakeets breed
    C．how they flew to London
    D．when they started living in London
    小题4:The best title for this passage would be _____.
    A．Help the parakeets B．Pretty birds have trouble
    C．Birds invade LondonD．Pretty birds

    Washington, November 1, 2012  (CNN) -- After years of planning and months of campaigning（竞选）, the most expensive presidential race in history comes down to a final five-day whirlwind of speeches and television ads in the eight states still up for grabs.
    President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney plan to hold virtually nonstop events between now and the Tuesday election considered too close to call.
    The focus is on battleground states worth 95 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Both sides are trying to close the deal with a decreasing number of uncommitted(未表态的) voters, while making sure supporters actually cast ballots.
    That means a game of campaign chess that started Thursday, with appearances by the candidates (候选人)and their assistants as well as advertising dollars allocated to the places considered most vital to success.
    Concluding a race expected to cost more than $6 billion overall, Obama and Romney and their running mates will hit all the battleground states -- Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin. The campaigns also are unloading a blast of television ads and mailings that threaten to overwhelm voters already saturated with politicking. Perhaps no one said it better than 4-year-old Abigael Evans of Fort Collins, Colorado, who -- according to NPR -- cried after listening to more election coverage on the radio and told her mother, ‘I'm tired of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.’
    小题1:The underlined phrase “too close to call” probably means               .
    A．a game that one side is clearly winning.
    B．a tie in which neither side seems likely to win
    C．so close that you need not use a telephone
    D．a visit close to one’s home state
    小题2:What is the focus of the last-5 -day campaigns for both presidential candidates?
    A．To make sure that their supporters understand their policies.
    B．To collect enough money for campaign ads.
    C．To paint their rival as black as possible.
    D．To win over the voters who have not decide which candidate to vote for.
    小题3:The public generally feel ________ about these last-days election efforts.
    A．excitedB．disappointedC．annoyedD．relieved
